Is the president purposefully using propaganda and hyperbole to garner the American public for support? ↗
Propagandists reveal themselves through their use of tricks such as "name-calling", employing "glittering generalities", "plain folks" identifications, "card stacking", "bandwagon" devices, and so on.

The uneducated are more easily affected by threats and the emotional trauma that propaganda like this can create. ↗
